HUMAN RIGHTS
Something I feel very passionate about is Human Rights. As an artist I am interested in creating a better world - may sound airy fairy - but lets face it, what we are living in today is a rapidly declining civilisation: racism is rampant, torture, oh my God, take a look at any of the news papers and magazines and see what is happening.

I found a web site the other day on the fact that Tibetan Buddhsit monks are being tortured and killed just because of what they believe. Right 18. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.

What about all the crap that is going on the Middle East with the war??? Think that's a normal way of life? It's not, it's INSANE. It's a) murder, actually, just like the holocaust was complete and utter murder, genocide, and b) utterly violates human rights. Human Right 5. No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

Believe it or not each and every person have human rights. But what are human rights? Why are they so valuable. Well did you know you have the right to life? Did you know everyone has the right to education? Wow, what about little Joey who is forced to take mind altering psychiatric drugs otherwise he won't be allowed to attend school. That's pretty sick and I'll ahve more to say about that later. Did you know no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor and reputation? Check out the tabloids on that one.

HUMANITARIANS
If there were more people who stood up and disagreed with the "norm" of rampant human rights abuse, we would not be dealing with constant blood shed and tears. While John Lennon sang it in his song Imagine he put the dream there to be invisioned by all and to one day come to fruition. But obviously this won't happen unless people know they have human rights and actually do something about the lack of them.

The people that come to mind as the movers and the shakers in human rights are:

Martin Kuther King: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

L. Ron Hubbard: "On the day when we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth."

Mahatama Gandhi: "[nonviolence] The greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man."

David Miscavige: "The Aims of Scientology are a world without insanity, without criminals, without war, where the able can prosper and where Man is free to rise to greater heights. Also inherent in Scientology itself, is that one take responsibility, not only for himself, but the world at large. And absolutely no part of those efforts have anything to do with mere “belief” or “blind faith” in a doctrine. Rather, we use what we know to help others, and we couldn't care less about their race, creed, color or religion."

An intense, passionate speaker about human rights and the leader of the fastest growing religion on the planet. He speaks of the ills of society and the solution for them -- Scientology. If you actually look and check out what the Church of Scientology is doing, you may be surprised. For one, they are making human rights known about so that the rapid and incidious decline of mankind can be halted and reversed.
